Of course, once you start to get really complicated designs then designing a schematic starts to become cumbersome or even impossible.

Check out http://home.freeuk.com/fpgaarcade/games.htm for an interesting application of FPGAs - these guys have recreated various old-school arcade hardware inside an FPGA. Pretty neat.
